Disastrous year!Before the whole family is wiped out, a little blessing falls from the sky!

Mr. Tai smiled bitterly, "The old general said that I was the only one left in the seventh battalion, and asked me to go home to guard my wife and children, live a normal life for my dead brothers, and enjoy the peace they bought with their lives. But Shou With this secret, I didn’t dare to sleep peacefully all night. Our family has suffered a lot for many years because of this secret..."

The general stood up quickly and helped the old man sit next to him with his own hands. He didn't know where to start even if he wanted to ask.

Fortunately, the old man had been depressed for half his life, and he could finally talk freely. He didn't need to ask, he just poured the beans into the bamboo tube.

"When the old general entrusted the treasure to me, he thought it was safe. But there is no airtight wall in the world. I'm afraid someone still saw some clues. Ever since I returned to Tai'an from the army, our family has been secretly targeted.

"The people in the dark are not trying to kill our family, they are just trying. For example, when doing business, the stalls will be smashed, when the harvest is good, they will be set on fire, and when we go hunting in the mountains, we will be seriously injured. In short, they will use every method to prevent our family from having enough food and clothing or in urgent need." Money forces me to use my treasure to solve my family's difficulties.

"I was a little vigilant. No matter how difficult it was, there was no flaw. After so many years, the man in the dark may have lost his patience. Since last year, he has been making frequent moves. I caught the handle and uncovered a man who had been hiding in the village for many years. The traitor.

"After that, the other party sent more people, soaked rabbits with drugs to lure wolves into the village, and bribed people in the world to kidnap my boy, just to force me to take out the treasure map.

"Just a few days ago, Rakshasa devils suddenly appeared in Tai'an. When they were burning, killing and looting, I led my people to resist rescue and had no time to worry about my family members hiding in the mountains.

"At this time, more than a dozen men in black came into the mountains and asked me to hand over the treasure map. When they heard that I was not here, they tied up Zhuzhu and threatened me. If it hadn't happened to be discovered early, several villages The villagers are also trying their best to protect the family members, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties by now!"

Everyone gasped when they heard this. Even though the old man slept on the same kang last night, he didn't tell Chen Zhao and the Sixth Prince.

What's rare is that the general didn't ask for the tobacco pole first at this time. Instead, he asked, "Uncle Tai said that he intended to create chaos at the border and that the men in black who went to the valley to kidnap people were the same group? Have you made any guesses? , who is the master behind them?”

Mr. Tai hesitated for a moment and responded, "General, speaking of which, I don't have to guess who it is. Because when the Emperor came to the palace, a man came to our house and forcefully demanded that I, the 'domestic slave', hand over He even said that I stole it from the master. But I scared him away!"

House slave?

The general frowned tightly. Mr. Tai had served in the border army for many years. If he had to be given the title of a domestic slave, then only his late father, the old general, had the qualifications.

Who else dares to speak so shamelessly...

wrong!

An idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of someone.

"You mean...second uncle, second uncle from Kyoto!"

Mr. Tai nodded and sighed, "It's the second master. He was in charge of the logistics camp at the beginning. The old general wanted to transport ordnance supplies. Even if he didn't know it clearly, he must have been aware of it!"

The general's face was livid, and he slapped his hand on the table, causing the teacup to rattle.

"I have never asked him to settle accounts because of my love for my family. Instead, he is so ungrateful! If it hadn't been for him back then, my father would..."

Halfway through, he finally swallowed the second half. Don’t let the family scandal show up!

He Xiong quickly changed the subject and asked Mr. Tai, "Uncle, I hear what you mean, are these people not taking any action before? It is only in the past six months that they have become more and more anxious, forcing you to take out the treasure map." ,Yeah?

"Yes, this is one of the reasons why I guessed that the person behind it is the Second Master. Ever since the emperor fell ill, the competition among several princes for the throne has become fierce. After that, the Second Master has become more and more unscrupulous. Presumably... he wants to get it. Treasure, which prince will stand in line to vote for me!"

Mr. Tai glanced at the sixth prince and said, "Those princes in Kyoto have a very bad reputation, especially the third prince. They sent people here before to try to steal our family's business. If they become the emperor of Wei , I am afraid that the people will no longer have a peaceful life!

"Now that I have sent the treasure map, I also hope that the general and His Highness the Sixth Prince will get the treasure, defeat the Rakshasa, seize the throne, keep the border safe, and let the people of Wei live and work in peace and contentment!"

The general and the sixth prince looked at each other and stood up at the same time to salute the old man.

"Grandpa Tai (Uncle Tai), don't worry, I will definitely do it!"

Mr. Tai quickly returned the gift, and after sitting down again, he wiped his hands on the cotton-padded jacket, and then carefully unscrewed the brass cigarette stem.

The cigarette rod is actually a double-layered copper pipe with only a small hole in the middle.

The old man twisted it again before pouring out a piece of folded oil paper stuck in the middle of the double-layered copper pipe.

The oil paper was opened, and it turned out to be a map punched out with a needle. The markings were very clear. Starting from Tai'an County, there were several mountains in the way. How to break the cave trap where the treasure is hidden...

The general was silent for a long time after looking at it, and sighed softly.

"My father must have put a lot of effort into this matter back then!"

The sixth prince nodded, his tone full of admiration, and responded, "It is precisely because of the old general's foresight that he gave us such a huge help at such a critical moment."

Mr. Tai reinstalled the dry tobacco rod, almost tremblingly, he grabbed the shredded tobacco from his purse, carefully put it in, then lit it and took a big puff.

Ever since he got the treasure map and made the promise to keep the treasure, he held the cigarette pole day and night, but never took a puff of cigarette, for fear of burning the blueprint hidden in the copper pipe. Now, I can finally smoke with confidence.

Xu was twitching so hard that after just two breaths, he started to choke and cough.

Zhuzhu quickly threw away the snacks, and patted her grandfather's back with her little chubby hands, "Grandpa, grandpa, please slow down! Mom said she was in a hurry and couldn't eat the hot dumplings. Grandpa, you have to be obedient!"

"Okay, okay! Grandpa is obedient!" The old man laughed, looked up and saw everyone looking at him, and quickly said, "I have quietly found the location indicated on the map. Standing on the top of the mountain behind my house, you can I saw that valley. Zhuzhu’s grandmother passed away and was buried on the top of the mountain. Every month when I went to visit the tomb, I would take a closer look and found that it had never been found there. General, even if you find reliable people, I am willing to take them there. take something."

The general responded immediately, "Okay, I'll bother Uncle Tai."

After saying that, he looked at the Sixth Prince. From the perspective of the border guards, naturally the sooner they get the treasure, the better. However, the time is not yet ripe for the Sixth Prince to seize the throne. Unless the Emperor dies of illness immediately, or the princes get into trouble, the Sixth Prince can legitimately raise an army...

Chen Zhao was a smart man and immediately said to the old man, "Uncle, my supplies have been prepared and are about to be sent to the valley where the Prairie Wolf Riders are staying. Yong'an and Yonglu are both there. Do you want to go for a walk with me? A trip?" (End of chapter)
